My friend who is an avid mountain biker took me on a little ride in a place called Kuitpo Forest, about 50 mins drive from Adelaide. One of the few places I know around here with pine trees, instead of Eucalypts, and kin of reminds me of the area in Germany where I'm from.
There are some pretty good single track bits (no time to take a photo) that were up there with anything I ever did around Leith Hill when my London friends took me for the very few MTB rides I have ever done. Had to bail out quite a few times on sections that had big jump ramps, and I struggled around some tight switchbacks.
Riding single track is for sure harder and slower when you're riding on the hoods and don't have suspension, but do-able and good fun never the less. The Wolverine really took it well, and the 29er roll over lots of things I didn't expect them to be able to.
